Need help separating data please

Hi , as you can see via the screenshot, I want to separate the number from the letters. For example 0.00000N, I want column A to be: 0.00000 and column B to be: N. but the problem is that the lengths aren't all the same, so some data will have 9 characters in total and other will have like 8,10 or even 11.

Use a Formula the create your two new columns - the first to get the last character with a RIGHT function and the second to REPLACE the output of the first formula with nothing!

Also these should be posted in Designer Desktop for future reference!

Using the Regex Tool, you can split the column into two. Below is a sample flow demonstrating how to use the Regex Tool for parsing the two columns.The Regular Expression used is :^([\d\.]+)([A-Z])$.
Hope this might Help.
